Acid Gas Ingestion in Rotary Screw Air Compressors
Acid gas ingestion in rotary screw air compressors is a frequent problem that poses significant challenges, primarily due to the destructive nature of these gases and their impact on both the compressor’s mechanical components and the lubricant. Acid gases, like those contained in combustion exhausts, cooling tower emissions, welding fumes, process vapors, herbicides, pesticides, and…
Read MoreOil Purification is Key to Reducing Compressor Operating Costs
Compressed air is often hailed as the “fourth utility,” indispensable to manufacturing operations much like electricity, water, and natural gas. In this realm, oil-flooded rotary screw compressors reign supreme for their cost-effectiveness despite their operational and maintenance expenses. The annual operating costs of rotary screw compressors stem from various factors: high energy consumption, pricey replacement…
Read MoreEnhancing Compressor Performance: The Critical Role of Ultra-Fine Filtration in Lubrication
Lubricant contamination is a pervasive issue, with over 70% of equipment failures attributed to it. As a leading air compressor OEM emphasizes, particulate contamination, especially ultra-fine solid particles under 10 microns, poses a significant threat to air compressors. These minute particles, present even in new oils, wreak havoc on compressor reliability, leading to escalated maintenance…
Read MoreReduce Compressor Operating Costs with Oil Purification
Compressed air is often referred to as the “fourth utility”, and like electricity, water, and natural gas, is critical to most manufacturing operations. The prevalent type of air compressor used today to produce this utility is the oil-flooded rotary screw. These compressors are favored for their low capital cost yet can be quite expensive to…
